Question

All of the following describe a strategy for finding a theme in a work of literature except for which option?

using higher-order thinking
considering character motivation
thinking about how you would change a story's ending
examining descriptions of setting

Answer 1

examining descriptions of setting

Answer 2

Examining descriptions of setting

Step-by-step explanation:

An theme refers to a central message, life lesson or moral that a story or literary work holds about a topic and that is not directly stated by the author or a character and instead, it is usually revealed through characters and the events of a story, therefore, some useful strategies to finding a theme is to use higher-order thinking, consider character motivation, and thinking about how you would change a story's ending. Examining descriptions of setting, on the other hand, does not help much when finding out themes because themes are life/universal lessons that transcendent cultural barriers, locations and times, meaning that they can be applied to our lives or other literary works regardless of setting.
